Wesley Vissers<\/a> believes time is the only thing standing between him and the Olympia title. In an August 12 video, he predicted the first callout at the 2026 Mr. Olympia and said his goal is to win within the next three years.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

After a lackluster 2025 bodybuilding season, Vissers turned his luck around. He boosted his leg thickness and definition in the off-season, and leveraged those improvements onstage. \u201cThe Dutch Oak\u201d regained momentum with back-to-back wins at the 2026 Arnold Classic Ohio<\/a> and Detroit Pro<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He had the opportunity to battle Mike Sommerfeld<\/a> at the Arnold Classic UK<\/a>. It was a close event, but \u201cMike the Badass\u201d emerged victorious. Despite the setback, Vissers is confident that he can present an Olympia-winning package looking ahead.\u00a0<\/p>\n

His goal is to break into the top five, and he emphasized that conditioning will decide his fate:\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI really want to get into that top five. I want to be compared to those guys. I know all the names I just mentioned; they are conditioned front to back and top to bottom.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only way for me to get into the top five, Tyler himself also mentioned it to me, is that conditioning. If I\u2019m not conditioned enough, even if I\u2019m twice the size, we can\u2019t judge your physique against theirs until you reach the same kind of conditioning. From that moment, then we look at physique comparisons. Then, I think there\u2019s a bigger shot for me to do well at the Olympia.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

While Dino is the current Classic Physique Olympia, Vissers argued Sommerfeld\u2019s shape is \u201cone step above\u201d what the champ can bring:\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI think Mike\u2019s shape at this Arnold UK was his best ever of any shape he\u2019s ever shown, especially with that lighter weight. I did see him when he was up against Chris Bumstead<\/a>; he was incredible then, but this forced him to dial in even more. His conditioning was undeniable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that is one step above what Ramon can do, and Ramon is a lot heavier at this moment and pretty conditioned already. He certainly needs to lose a lot of weight to get in shape,\u201d Wesley Vissers said<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Vissers is adamant that he can win the Olympia within three years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIn the next three years, I\u2019m very confident I can win the Olympia, for sure, in Classic Physique. I feel great. I feel healthy. I feel like I can do this for a lot longer. I\u2019ve only been learning more about myself, learning how to be a better bodybuilder.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Bodybuilding veteran Dennis James<\/a> has been outspoken about Vissers\u2019 chances<\/a> heading into Vegas. He also suggested that conditioning will heavily influence where he places:\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cHe needs to be super conditioned. There\u2019s no other way. If Wesley is not 100%, 99% is not enough, he needs to be 100% in order to stand next to the best guys and possibly beat them.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Vissers understands that leg fullness, detail, and overall conditioning will be the key to his bodybuilding future. The 2026 Mr. Olympia will take place from September 24-27 in Las Vegas, Nevada.\u00a0<\/p>\n
